About Us
Ellie Nouveau
CEO / Crazy Mastermind behind the business…
I would love to invite you to come along with me (and my contempleary crew) around the world to visit and create art of LDS temples and covenant based lessons for kids.
I’m Ellie Nouveau…”I love chocolate, running, and chocolate”. But mostly, I would love to empower parents and teachers with the ability to share important gospel truths to children in an easy-to-understand way with charming pictures and colorful hands-on creations. I also want to inspire families to be bold in their faith with bright artwork of the temple! We strive day by day, trip by trip, and temple by temple, to create “Sacred Places for your Sacred Spaces
Daddy
Senior Vice President/ COO/ Financier
official creator of Temple Travel Posters
Jonny Boy is the “Manny Poppins” who is “practically perfect”—offering his hard earned cash to finance our family trips to each temple. He is a mild-mannered doctor by day, and a super daddy and director of the travel poster creation at night. When he isn’t being tackled by the toddlers, you will find him snacking on chocolate covered cinnamon bears around the corner of the pantry door.
Alora
Junior Vice President/ Little Miss Missionary
Alora has fire in her faith and a wonderful willingness to serve the Lord. She is leaving on her LDS mission soon, but uses any spare minute to help us design the children’s lessons and children’s temple posters. She exemplifies being a missionary AND being an artist with a mission.
Clara Bug
Editor in Chief/ Creature Creator
Our Bugga is the friendliest book nerd you will ever meet… She lends her creative talent to our children’s line of Contemple.ary Art by making cute critters, child friendly temple portraiture, and she also acts as our speed-reading content editor. She loves 19th century classic literature, Japanese cuisine, and long walks with our Contempleary Canine Cookie. She is the one we go to for tech problems, and the one who is willing to offer a hand, or a hug, when the computer won’t do what we want it to do—which is often.
Mission Statement
We are a family of artists who saw a real need as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for contemporary temple artwork. This modern aesthetic needed to go beyond a photograph, and become something that is for our day, for our homes, and especially- for our children.
We travel around the world to photograph LDS temples and design vector-based artwork of each one– with an avant garde air — while preserving the ancient origins of the Houses of the Lord.
We also saw a missing piece in making covenant-keeping more understandable and accessible for children and the present-day challenges they grapple with on a daily basis. With our Temple Travel Posters, Eternal Line Art, and resources to teach and inspire your Contempleary Kids, we make it easy for you, fun for kids, and inspiring for the whole family to have…
“Sacred Places for Your Sacred Spaces.”
